What is sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy (also known as direct vision sclerotherapy) is an effective treatment option for small reticular and spider veins. The procedure is brief and relatively simple:
- Sclerotherapy requires no anaesthetic.
- A detergent solution is injected via micro-needle directly into the affected vein, causing the vein wall to collapse.
- The immune/healing system responds naturally – the collapsed vein is dissolved and absorbed.
- • Minor discomfort at the injection site is the most common adverse reaction and can be minimised by local pressure.
- Total treatment time is about 30 minutes.
- Depending on severity, multiple treatments per site may be required for best results.
Sclerotherapy offers tremendous advantages for the treatment of small reticular and spider veins. It is very fast, easy on the patient and typically provides very noticeable results in just a few weeks. It also leverages the body’s natural healing ability to remove unsightly veins and restore a youthful and appealing look.
What is microsclerotherapy?
Microsclerotherapy is the most effective treatment specifically for tiny spider veins. The procedure is otherwise identical to traditional sclerotherapy, offers the same benefits and in fact the two treatment terms are typically used interchangeably.
